I am generally a fan of open world games with an emphasis on fun (i.e. Far Cry, Mad Max, inFamous, Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising etc.).
Naturally I purchased Saints Row 3 and 4 on Switch. I finished SR3 and enjoyed but the unlocked frame rate and variable resolution was not ideal. I held off on playing SR4.

Well, now the Switch 2 is out and the Saints Row games are running at full resolution (720p in handheld) at 60FPS. I'm thinking now might be the time to play it. I'm just wondering if it's worth my time. On one hand, I like to get older games out the way because they just keep on aging but on the other hand I could just play a newer highly acclaimed game (I have a bunch on PS+ and GamePass that I could play).

If you liked Saints Row III then you might not enjoy it. It is a parody of films and games with superhero mechanics. Very little connecting it to earlier entries. It is the only installment of the franchise I enjoy replaying though.

 

[Gonzito]

Absolutely not. Stay away from that turd

Saints row 4 is fantastic. Especially in coop.
It's not nearly as good as SR3 though.

 

[RavageX]

Sucks no matter what. But then again I didnt like 3 either.

 

[diffusionx]

It's like Crackdown 1 in a lot of ways. If you liked that you will like this.

 

[DarkStream]

It's terrible. 3 is the GOAT.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Game is trash.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Don't listen to these utter Haters. Wouldnt know a good game if it slapped them on the arse!

The game was damn good fun, had a few comical bits and was a damn sight better than the turd that followed it.

The overworld ambient music is second to none, too.

Completed it three times, on three different systems.

If you want a dumb, fun, open world game. It's good.

But be ready for a lot of collect-a-thon type orbs in the world map.

 

[GymWolf]

Just don't play expecting old saint row gameplay, the game is basically a superhero simulator.

I enjoyed it for what it is.

 

[rabbity-thing]

TIL People don't like Saints Row IV. Absolutely stunned that people can dislike a game with Vice President Kieth David, but here we are.

 

[RoboCain]

It plays like Prototype or Crackdown while keeping the gameplay of previous games and the story is downright idiotic but entertaining. I enjoyed my time with it back in 2014.

I prefer Crackdown 3, but it's not bad
